Tucking is one common option (I will refrain from going into full detail, Google I am sure will offer plenty of choices, or others who may chime in), either using a gaff (I think that is what they are called?) or whatever size women's undergarments you wear, get a size smaller, but get a good brand that keeps it's stretchy shape and one that the band does not give out after 3 washes. Women's clothing quality for the most part, sucks, compared to men's clothing quality.

I know when, what was her name, the girl who was on Tyra . . . Isis . . . oh yes, Isis King. She was the first trans woman to enter the 11th and 17th America's Next Top Model competition. When she competed (at least for the 11th one) she was pre-op, and said she wore two pairs of panties and tucked just to make sure there were no "wardrobe malfunctions."

Grace, I agree with Bettet that the most common means of being bulge-less is tucking, of one form or another. There is a whole huge discussion thread on the topic here: http://www.lauras-playground.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13574

Many of us who are on HRT for a while have found that things, um, shrink so much that tucking is rarely ever necessary. I don't think I would tuck any more unless I was wearing a bathing suit. I tucked at first but found it so uncomfortable and awkward that I decided I would rather wear loose fiting slacks than have to resort to it. Some people swear by the technique. Me, I just swore a lot. :D

HRT makes the "equipment" shrink.....

Over three years on HRT for me and there is very little there anymore....

Sometimes it's even difficult to use the bathroom because there is little to get hold of.....

What was said above is good advice and based on experience. I HATED tucking back when I had to do that (HRT solves that problem) but I learned to wear control top panty hose (in the winter) and two sets of panties -one which can be partially spandex material.

Also, not all fashions require much tucking, if any at all..

Omg! Yes, TMI, but I am glad to hear others have this, well, not problem, but, well, hehe - you know.

Yeppers, 2 years on HRT really does a number down there!

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.

      So from time to time my brain gets a hold of information and puts it together with other information in weird way that get me thinking. I was reading about a nudes cruise that they are running out if Miami. It got me thinking that a transgendered person who is also a naturalist, has to be one of the most unlucky people alive. How does one manage that and does that ever come up? Not trying to make fun here, just genuinely curious. Things that make you go hmmmm....

      No luck there, really. She's getting a signing bonus plus a little extra that I don't think would cover much in the way of the move, but it is something!   Oh my! I am glad to hear you're not passing anymore blood. I hope they figure it out soon! How distressing!   @April Marie @KymmieL @Mirrabooka @Willow @Justine76, thank you for the kind words and thoughts! We told our best friends last night. There were many tears. Now it's all about the work: selling the house (my wife's friend's son said he may want to buy it direct!), a job (a former employee of mine wants to bring me over to his company--and they're based outside of Tacoma!), and moving (just started going through what we don't want bring and donating things). So things have kicked off.   I'm not so sure of the job, it would be good to work with my former employee (he's great) but I fear the culture may not be super welcoming to someone like me--and the guy doesn't know I'm trans in any way. But I'll give it a shot as my authentic self and see what happens!

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.
